Show me as anonymous - what does this mean?
Does that mean I can look at profiles without them knowing who I am? If so, is that ok? I was thinking of doing that so that if I don't ask a question, then they won't assume I am not interested.
And if you select this, does my profile still show which city I am in?

If you select to be anonymous then when you view a profile it does not show that you viewed it but at the bottom of the Who's Viewed Me it will show how many people viewed them anonymously.

It is fine to do that if that is what you want. Personally I prefer that my matches see that I viewed them. There are several current threads on what viewing someone and not initiating communication could mean. The only time that you really indicate that you are not interested is when you close someone.

Being anonymous would seem to be defeating the purpose of finding a match. Assuming that each match is sent to both sides, it seems like one way to show interest is to view their profile.

It would only make sense right? The 'Who's Viewed You' is a little over a year old now. I've been on and off of EH for 5 years and I've not seen any difference whether my match knows I've seen them or vice versa.
